Reviews
This larger format volume is more detailed than the previous volumes as it begins with a very concise and helpful introduction to the four temperaments, how they arise, how to recognise them and how they are worked with and managed in Waldorf education. Each temperament has a short chapter of description printed on the appropriate tinted paper. The form drawing exercises are then given for each temperament and for each of the relevant age groups within that temperament, likewise on the tinted paper and drawn boldly in the corresponding bright colour. It is thus a very satisfying book to look at and handle as well as being informative about the temperaments. The exercises and forms are all carefully built up and developed. It should be an additional welcome tool for teachers, home educators and for anyone trying to work with the temperaments therapeutically, as well as being aesthetically pleasing to study. * The Anthroposophical Society GB *
